NEW VIDEO - ‘Penstar Color E Note Pro Review - Kaleido 3 vs reMarkable Paper Pro Move (Gallery 3)’⁣
⁣
In this video I check out the new Color E Note Pro a 10.3” colour E-Ink tablet from Penstar. I look at the 300 PPI monochrome / 150 PPI colour display, the new capacitive touch screen (no more pen-only limitation), front light, AI camera for document scanning, and how well apps like Kindle on this device. I also put the colour layer and refresh behaviour up against Gallery 3 on the Paper Pro Move so you can see the differences in saturation, speed and overall writing experience.⁣

The Files app on iPad finally feels like it’s grown up. With iPadOS 26, Apple has completely overhauled how we manage and work with files — adding a smarter list view, custom folder colours, emoji tags, and even the ability to set default apps for different file types. If you wrote off the Files app years ago, it’s time to take another look.⁣

NEW VIDEO - ‘I Can’t Stop Playing with These MagSafe Chargers!’⁣
⁣
In this video I unbox and take a look at two of Zeehoo’s latest all-in-one chargers — the LuminoCore 4-in-1 and the FoldTrack 3-in-1.⁣
⁣
The LuminoCore is built for your bedside table, with a dimmable night-light and motorised stand that looks right at home next to your bed. The FoldTrack, on the other hand, is the perfect travel charger – foldable, magnetic, and easy to pack. Both charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at up to 15 W, and both look rather good doing it.
